The event offers timed running contests held at the Wolverine Sports Complex, 310 Harold St, Marquette, KS 67464. Runners complete laps on a one mile loop that is mostly a six foot wide crushed limestone path with a short section over grass. The course is about half shaded by trees and half open.

• 24 hour event
• 12 hour day event
• 6 hour day event
• 12 hour night event
• 6 hour night event

There is one aid station at the start/finish of every loop. The aid area will be cup less, so runners should bring a refillable cup or bottle. Standard aid station items will be provided along with soups, broths, and warm options during the night. Shared food may be placed in a designated area. Runners and crews may set up pop up tents and chairs near the start/finish for self aid and drop bags.

All runners use chip timing; the race bib contains the timing chip and should be worn visibly on the front. Runners should remove their bib after finishing to avoid extra lap counts. Crews and canopies are allowed in marked areas; dogs are permitted only in the parking lot and are not allowed on the course. Pacers are not allowed. Excessive alcohol is prohibited and participants may be asked to leave for unsafe behavior.

Finish awards include a silo bag for participants, a belt buckle finisher award, distance specific magnetic banners for certain distances, and awards for the top three in each event. Runners under 18 must have a parent or guardian present at the race at all times. Registration closes November 6, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
